I installed tomcat 5.5 and then separately downloaded admin application zip for 5.5. I copied conf\Catalina\localhost\admin.xml and the admin folder under the webapps. Still I am getting the error when I try to access the url thru' http://localhost:8080/admin/.
The error I see is "The requested resource (/admin/) is not available."
On googling I checked web.xml. There nothing seems to be wrong. Also the admin context is visible thru' http://localhost:8080/manager/. any suggestions?
On my Tomcat 5.5, admin is under the directory: TOMCAT\server\webapps\ which also has the "manager" directory, instead of the TOMCAT\webapps directory where the standard distribution puts web apps.
Also my tomcat-users.xml file defines an "admin" role.
